POV Bella

Passeggeri di fiorì, in Italia, si prega di allacciare le cinturoones. Saremo sbarco in pochi minuti.

Said the airplane attendant as we were reaching Florence. As soon as I could I went to the nearest Airport and asked for a ticket to Volterra. But, before going to Quebec for my ticket I made a little pit sot back in Denali. Of course, back then I didn't know who i was running into.

Flashback

I have been running for what seemmed ages now, I'm sure that i would've taken days to cover the territory i had advanced if I had been human, and of course, he would've caught up to me. I was completely lost, the only thing i knew is that I was very, very, very far away from what used to be my home.

Soon I was facing a beautiful modern home, it reminded me of them but i didn't bother on running more, i was sure they wouldn't find me here. Inside the house I could see four figures and, aperantly, they could see me too.

I could see from affar that their eyes were golden, that's two similarities now ... how unusual.

-What's your name?-a man asked from affar, clearly in a defensive crouch.

-Eleazar, relax, I'm sure she means no harm.-said woman behind him, they were complete opposites, the man was deffinetly like Emmett, she looked like Alice.

Come on Bella! You have to stop thinking about these people!

-I was just passing through. I didn't mean to intrude-I said, calmly.

It seemed Eleazar relaxed, but he was still a little tense.

-Come on in- a tall blonde said.

There was another blonde, her hair was a little more silver-ish, she was just standing there, eyeing me carefully.

-I don't think that's a good idea.

-Why not? Obviously you have time, and maybe you can rest a little, even if you aren't tired-the same blonde one spoke.

I slowly started to walk towards the house and, as soon as a reached Eleazar the shor woman spoke.

-I'm Carmen, as you might noticed this is Eleazar. She's Kate-she said pointing at the nice blonde- and tha's Irina.

-Pleasure. I'm Isabella.

-Lovely name-Kate added.

-Thank you- I replied as Carmen lead us into the living room, how ironic.

-So what brings you to Alaska? Where are you from?

-I was running away from someone. I'm from Arizona.

-Must've been really hard to live in that sunny state.-Carmen said.

-And a long way all the way over here-Kate added with a laugh.

-I wasn't a vampire back in Arizona. I was transformed a few weeks ago, back in Forks.

-Forks? How odd.-Irina spoke, for the first time.

-Yeah. I was visiting a friend of mine.

-Who were you running away from?-Eleazar asked precautiously.

-My own past. I really don't want to talk about it.

The room was quiet for a moment, nobody really knew what to say.

-I'm practicaly a newborn, i don't know how this works, what the rules are...

-It's pretty easy if you ask me. Just stay out of trouble, don't tell anyone your secret. That's all.-Kate said.

-What happens if i don't-i already knew the answer, but i knew they'd tell me more than them.

-The Vulturi would kill you. Before you ask, the Vulturi are a coven back in Volterra, Italy; they have a guard with incredible powers. They make sure nobody breaks the only rule there is, you could relate them to royalty-Irina said.

-Oh. So I shoudn't mess with the Vulturi?

-Unless you want to die, there are only two reasons you go to the Vulturi, if there's someone you know that;s breaking the law or if you wish to oin their guard. If you're smart, you'll stay away from the second option, unless you have a gift.

-How do i know if i have one?

-Eleazar can tell you-Carmen spoke.

-You're clearly a shield. I can't read you completely, so that's probably it.

-A shield? How does that work?

-I can't tell, every shield is different and very unique. Shields are very rare, Aro would be interested in you.

-Aro is the leader of the Vulturi right?

-Yes, i thought you were clueless.

-I remmember somethings, but there are gaps in my memory.

As soon as i finished the phone rang, Kate ran to it. I knew it was rude to listen so i started to concentrate on something else. Camrne and Eleazar were taliking to themselves and Irina was nowhere in sight so all that was left was to look at the pictures they hung on their wall.

As soon as i swa the first one i gasped.

-Is everything ok?-Carmen asked me, concerned.

-You know them?

-The Cullen's. Of course we do, they're our extended family. We consider Carlisle our uncle.-Kate.

-Who is she?-I said, pointing at the figure of Tanya, in that same picture.

-That's Tanya, our sister.

If i could get any paler I'm sure i would've.

-I have to go.-I said as i rushed thru the back door but Eleazar was faster than me and Kate grabbed my hand.

-Oh, she's a shield alright, that should've knocked her down-she said.

-That wasn't completely necessary Kate, I'm sure she has her reasons. Let her explain.-Carmen said calmly, makin Kate release me. Instinctively i started to rub my wrist only to notice it was a little bit warmer than it should be.

-I can't tell you anything I'm sorry. I wish i could, but it just hurts too much.

-Why are you running away from the Cullen's?-Irina asked, her tone ice cold.

-I can't tell you. They already hurt me in the past, I can't let them hunt my future.

Iriana was quiet for a moment before running up stairs and almost three second later came back with a purse.

-Here-she said handing me the bag- I won't question your reasons, the person who called was one of the Cullen's. They're comming here and they already were more than half way when they called. So if you plan to leave, do it now.

I looked into her eyes to see if there was some sort of joke, but she seemed very serious. She handed me the purse and i hesitated before taking it.

-Thank you, for everything really. Someday I'll repay you, I swear.

-There's no need to, just go.-she hurried me out.

Without looking back I started running towards the opposite side of the woods. If the Cullen's were really comming it wasn't smart to go the same way i came.

End Flashback

I hope Eleazar was right, I was hopping that the Vulturi would take me in, I had nowhere else to go. The only thing I knew for sure was that -using the money and clothes Irina gave me and leaving my own bag behind- I had to get as further away as posible from the Cullen's.

Sorry about the delay but I have beeb VERY busy lately –with school and all that- so here's chapter 14. Hope you enjoeyed!

Review!
